Is the Messages App using iCloud?

If so, then why am I receiving some text messages on my iPhone that never show on my Mac desktop Messages App? I've tried syncing from prefs. No worky.

Mac mini 2018 or later

See the article Set up Messages on iPhone - Apple Support

With Continuity, all the SMS/MMS messages you send and receive on iPhone also appear on your other iOS devices and your Mac. See the Apple Support article Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch.
